Sunns: Felt
Posted by Matthew Barlow | Mar 5, 2018 | Music, Reviews | 0
Suuns
The record label Secretly Canadian isn't actually Canadian. It doesn't even have an office in Canada. I don't know who they're trying to fool. Suuns, on the other hand, are Canadian, from Montréal. I first saw them live c. 2009 or 2010 back home in the Mecca, in a dusty, concrete room, with a lot of black steel girders, a kind of post-modern music hall on the Lower Main. I don't think there was more than 150 people in the room, but it was hard to tell from the dry ice. Four shadowy figures were on stage, and they made a massive amount of noise. Cacophonous beats and pulverizing bass, with shimmering guitars and keyboard peels over top. Frontman Ben Shamie's disjointed, ethereal voice wavered over top of the noise. I was hooked.
Their début album, Zeroes, QC, appeared in 2010 and was followed up by Images du futur in 2013, and Hold/Still in 2016. They also released an absolutely brilliant collaboration with fellow Montrealer Jerusalem in My Heart in 2015, creatively entitled Suuns and Jerusalem in My Heart. That one, in particular, remains in heavy rotation around here.
Felt is more of the same and yet it is not. The beats feel bigger and loopier this time around. I listened to this album on headphones the first time. My brain is still bouncing around my skull in response. Suuns originally formed back in 2007 when Shamie (who also plays guitar) and bassist Joe Yarmush (who also plays guitar) gathered to create beats, which then evolved into actual songs (Max Henry plays keyboards and bass and Liam O'Neill is the drummer). In many ways, Felt is created around the beats, or so it seems, first. The rest of the music comes next. And there is a lot, and it is loud. Between the guitars, bass, and keyboards, there is a lot going on here musically; the cacophony swirls around in the speakers, both drone-y and hypnotic (not unlike fellow Montrealers, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, though they do this with guitars).
Suuns have been compared to Liverpool's Clinic on more than one occasion, an early review I read of Zeroes, QC, complained that they were essentially a Clinic rip off. I don't think so. True, Shamie's voice, in particular, sounds a lot like Ade Blackburn, but the Montréal outfit is much more adventurous in their sonic palette.
And so, Shamie's vocals. I have to admit, I don't know the words to a single Suuns song. I don't really pay attention to his lyrics, which is rare for me. I like words. I like how poets, songwriters, novelists use words to construct a world-view. But not here, I see Shamie's vocals as belonging to the music. His voice feels more of the music than the space a vocalist usually occupies in the music. His voice remains at the same pitch, as he modulates louder and quieter, and vocoder.
On Felt, it seems like Suuns finally hit their stride, creating a consistency that has not always been there with their previous albums. And it designed for multiple plays, preferably on a system that allows the bass and guitars to shake the foundations/car/your brain.

AMD Caught In WallStreetBets Drama As Shady Robinhood Dares To Limit Trading
Last week was a crazy one for seemingly down and out companies that have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We're of course talking about GameStop, and to a lesser extent companies like AMC Theaters and BlackBerry. It's a long story, and we highly suggest that you catch-up on our previous coverage, if you're new to all Wall Street the drama.
However, the Cliff's Notes version is that Wall Street hedge funds have been shorting GME shares for the long haul, hoping for the eventual demise of the company so that they can rake in billions in profit. Reddit community WallStreetBets, however, has decided to "stick it to the man" by rallying around shares of GME, which has sent its stock price soaring. GME, which was trading at below $10 a share in mid-2020, is now trading at around $325. Needless to say, the "little guy" day traders that got in early have been making bank, while hedge fund managers are shaking in their boots and lashing out in epic fashion.
So Where Do Robinhood And AMD Factor Into All Of This?
That brings us to Robinhood, which drew the ire of WallStreetBets, day traders, and even lawmakers after it announced it would be "restricting transactions for certain securities to position closing only, including $AAL, $AMC, $BB, $BBBY, $CTRM, $EXPR, $GME, $KOSS, $NAKD, $NOK, $SNDL, $TR, and $TRVG." Robinhood claimed that it was making the move to protect its customers from "significant market volatility," even though most folks dealing with those particular stocks knew exactly what they were doing.
The trade blockade caused GME and AMC shares to drop 21 percent and nearly 50 percent, respectively, on Thursday, before mostly recovering from those losses on Friday.
AMD placed on Robinhood's restricted stock list late last week.
Now it appears another company that was caught up in this short-selling vs. WallStreetBets counterattack from hedge funds and other institutional investors has been AMD. AMD is a company that is seemingly unrelated to the whole GME drama (other than it making the CPUs and GPUs that power the latest game consoles), but it too was placed on Robinhood's restricted stock list.
Possible explanation of hedge fund strategy. Credit: reddit/r/wallstreetbets
On Thursday and Friday, Robinhood limited its users to purchasing just a single share of AMD. As you might expect, there was an immediate outcry about this turn of events. Unlike GameStop, or many of the other companies that were targeted by Robinhood, AMD actually has solid financial footing and is on a significant organic growth trajectory.
Error message received when trying to buy more than 1 share of AMD via Robinhood.
In fact, AMD witnessed a 45 percent uplift in revenue year-over-year for 2020, and a 52 percent uplift in full-year profit to $4.35 billion. All of AMD's business units were on fire, from standalone Ryzen and Radeon GPUs, to its semi-custom chips used in the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X, to its EPYC data center processors. Despite the big earnings win, AMD was greeted with a dramatic drop in its share price last week, and what appears to be subsequent interference from Robinhood.
Why Is Robinhood Targeting AMD Now?
Redditor Bvllish was among the first to bring attention to the AMD slight by Robinhood, and blasted the move, stating:
This is important because it's blatant manipulation of AMD's stock. By limiting buys on a stock, Robinhood is creating artificial sell pressure which can lower the stock price. AMD's short interest (number of people betting that AMD's stock price will go down) has also risen in the past month. AMD also happens to be one of the most held stocks on Robinhood. An attack of AMD's stock is an attack on the company.
There has been quite a bit of activity around AMD during the past three weeks, with short interest having doubled from 52 million earlier in January to a current level approaching 110 million. Given AMD's booming financials, WallStreetBets and other day traders smell a rat (or perhaps shorts selling long positions on AMD to maintain liquidity after taking a beating on GME).
Welcome to the Endgame. from r/wallstreetbets
"Notice how [mainstream media] are saying that an earnings beat was 'expected' to explain the [share price]," added zqv7. "And yet, there was no run-up before earnings to actually price it in. Suits covering suits."
The Battle Against Robinhood And Shorts Is By No Means Over
The popular opinion seems to be that WallStreetBets and its legion of self-labeled "degenerates" are gearing up to now push AMD shares, and Robinhood doesn't want to get caught flat-footed. However, these restrictions are only helping to further drive distrust of the company by its users and scrutiny from lawmakers, including the SEC -- something that most trading companies try to avoid at all costs.
The mockery of Robinhood has grown in just a few days as its actions -- while legal -- are at odds with a movement that is determined to take on top Wall Street hedge fund firms. These degenerates are hellbent on propping up companies that are down on their luck, while also making some money for themselves.
Flown Over Robinhood HQ from r/wallstreetbets
It appears that some in the WallStreetBets community are even using their newfound wealth to openly mock Robinhood out in broad daylight (as witnessed by the video embed above). This is a quick about-face in fortunes for Robinhood, which has been praised for its ease of use and accessibility to casual traders. However, the twist of Robinhood's namesake to "steal from the rich and give to the poor" seems to have been turned upside down here, which explains why its feet are now being held to the proverbial fire.
As of now, it appears that AMD has been removed from Robinhood's list of restricted stocks following the outcry, but we don't know if that will still be the case tomorrow, when the market officially opens again. Whatever the outcome, the damage to Robinhood's reputation has clearly already been done, and it will be interesting to watch the fireworks if the SEC takes action against the company next.

The surge in flu calls is in line with what Tarrant County Public Health officials are also seeing, said Russell Jones, the agency's chief epidemiologist.
While flu cases may peak in the next week or two, the entire month of January will likely see a high number of flu cases.
"It won't go down for a good six weeks," Jones said. "I think the majority of cases have yet to occur."
If you need more another sign that the flu is hitting North Texas hard, consider this statistic from the JPS Health Network: During the last week of December, JPS Health Network pharmacies filled 156 prescriptions for Tamiflu, a dramatic jump from 34 during the first week of the month.
"I had our wholesaler rush some on an airplane over the weekend," said Pharmacy Director Nicole Shoquist. Tamiflu can shorten the duration of the illness if taken within 48 hours of onset of flu symptoms.
At JPS, the number of patients testing positive for the flu was 408 in December, up from 73 in November. During the first three days of January, 51 patients have already tested positive but JPS officials note that every patient seen does not receive a flu test.
It's a similar situation at Cook Children's Medical Center, where positive flu cases are also running ahead of last year.
Through the last Saturday in December, 380 patients out of 1,118 tested positive (34 percent) for Influenza A at Cook Children's. The number of patients testing positive for Influenza B was far less with only 49 of 1,118 (4 percent) testing positive.
At Cook Children's, the rise in flu cases hasn't led to excessive wait times — yet.
"We have brought in extra staff to help accommodate the high number of flu cases we're seeing in our emergency department," said Kim Brown, a Cook Children's spokeswoman. "We do not have an issue with wait times right now, but considering the circumstances that may change tomorrow or next week as we see more and more sick children."
At Texas Health Fort Worth, 793 were tested for flu through Dec. 30 and 169 confirmed positive. From Dec. 31 through noon Wednesday, Texas Health Fort Worth had 72 positive flu tests.
In November, the New England Journal of Medicine warned this could a difficult flu season because of what was seen in Australia during its flu season, where there were a record number of flu cases. In Australia, the vaccine was only 10 percent effective against the H3N2 strain that was circulating, according to that same report.
H3N2 is the main strain currently circulating locally but Jones said other parts of the Southern Hemisphere didn't see as severe of a season.
How effective is the flu shot locally?
"We don't know yet," Jones said. "The H3 component is less protective than we would like. We would like to see it up around 70 percent and last year it was in the 30s."
Still, health officials urge those who haven't been vaccinated to get a flu shot. The vaccine can reduce the severity and the duration of the illness.
With schools coming back from the Christmas break over the next week, Jones said it will also pose the risk of sick children infecting others.
"You need to be free of your fever at least 24 hours without taking a fever medication before you go back to school or work," Jones said.
Flu vs. cold
Flu symptoms include fever or feeling feverish/chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches and fatigue. The flu can cause serious health problems.
Cold symptoms are usually milder than the symptoms of flu. People with colds are more likely to have a runny or stuffy nose. Colds generally do not result in serious health problems.
Kenna Starnes, part time pharmacist at Perrone Pharmacy, administers a flu shot to Jerry Leverett, Perrone Pharmacist. If you haven't already received a flu shot, officials are advising individuals to do so. Paul Moseley pmoseley@star-telegram.com
Where to get a flu shot
The flu vaccine is available at all JPS Medical Homes in Tarrant County. For those without insurance or who will be paying out-of- pocket, the cost is $25.
These clinics are open for walk-in patients from 3 to 5 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays.

AptoVision, Aquantia, Christie Digital, NETGEAR, Sony and ZeeVee launch SDVoE Alliance2017-01-112019-09-10https://sdvoe.org/wp-content/uploads/logo.pngSDVoEhttps://sdvoe.org/wp-content/uploads/logo.png200px200px
AptoVision, Aquantia, Christie Digital, NETGEAR, Sony and ZeeVee launch SDVoE Alliance
Industry alliance promotes a standardized software-defined video over Ethernet (SDVoE) platform for interoperable AV-over-IP applications and invites others to join
MONTREAL — Jan. 12, 2017 — AptoVision, Aquantia, Christie Digital, NETGEAR, Sony and ZeeVee today announced that they have formed the SDVoE Alliance to standardize the adoption of Ethernet to transport AV signals in professional AV environments, and to create an ecosystem around SDVoE technology that allows software to define AV applications.
All AV distribution and processing applications that demand zero-latency, uncompromised video can benefit from SDVoE technology, which provides an end-to-end hardware and software platform for AV extension, switching, processing and control through advanced chipset technology, common control APIs and interoperability. SDVoE network architectures are based on off-the-shelf Ethernet switches thus offering substantial cost savings and greater system flexibility and scalability over traditional approaches such as point-to-point extension and circuit-based AV matrix switching.
SDVoE Alliance founding members bring different perspectives to the SDVoE initiative spanning the entire ecosystem with expertise in chipsets (AptoVision, Aquantia), switches and storage (NETGEAR), and AV end points (Christie Digital, Sony and ZeeVee). The SDVoE Alliance already benefits from over 35 shipping products and numerous installations in healthcare, enterprise, entertainment, hospitality, retail, houses of worship, government, military, industry and security.
"For years we have lived with the idea that 'AV/IT convergence is coming'," said Justin Kennington, president of the SDVoE Alliance. "The SDVoE Alliance and its technology finally provide the platform that is necessary to enable it. Using 10 Gb Ethernet hardware to move video with flawless quality and zero latency is only the beginning. The creation of a software platform enables the development of whole new classes of applications not yet conceived. True convergence is finally here."
The alliance seeks to:
Standardize adoption of Ethernet to transport AV signals in professional AV environments
Offer end users increased flexibility, with applications more tailored to their particular needs, and the opportunity to reduce both capital and operating expenses
Enable more cost-effective architectures for AV signal distribution using Ethernet switches
Provide a reliable and more versatile alternative to point-to-point extension and circuit switches
Facilitate true AV/IT convergence such that high-quality AV networks and data networks can simultaneously share a single infrastructure platform
Bring ecosystem partners — AV equipment manufacturers, AV software developers, switch manufacturers, chipset designers, technology providers and system integrators — together under a single banner to foster collaboration
Bring awareness to new opportunities by educating the industry and offering training in the new paradigm
Debut at Integrated Systems Europe 2017
At ISE 2017 (Amsterdam, February 7-10) on stand 12-H55, the SDVoE Alliance will feature a series of demonstrations highlighting that only SDVoE technology delivers: a full stack solution for AV over IP, zero-latency 4K60 over standard Ethernet, a complete application development platform, powerful AV processing with simple controls, and 4K60 with HDR.
Free training sessions on deploying zero-latency AV-over-IP systems using SDVoE technology will be held Wednesday, Feb. 8 at 12:30, 14:00 or 16:30 in room F002. All AV system integrators, designers, consultants, installers and manufacturers are invited to register to attend at sdvoe.org.
Comments from the founding members
Kamran Ahmed, CEO and co-founder, AptoVision said "AptoVision has been providing the underlying signal distribution technology to enable AV over IP without compromise for quite some time now. What SDVoE adds is a complete hardware and software platform to enable interoperable products and applications. We look forward to collaborating with fellow industry leaders in the SDVoE Alliance as we deliver that foundation."
Aquantia
Amir Bar-Niv, VP of marketing, Aquantia said "10 Gigabit Ethernet over twisted-pair copper cabling, 10GBASE-T, is now a mature and rapidly growing technology in IT environments. Its bandwidth, cost and ease-of-use make it the ideal solution for the transport of uncompressed UHD video in pro AV applications targeted by the SDVoE Alliance. As the leading company in the 10GBASE-T market, we are excited to be part of this new alliance and look forward to promote the deployment of the technology in the market."
Christie Digital
Clark Williams, EVP, Content Management and Processing, Christie Digital said "SDVoE technology provides a powerful, flexible platform that is relevant to even the most high-performance applications. With comprehensive functionality that today requires several discrete products from a variety of manufacturers, the technology allows powerful new approaches to existing applications and opens the door to new innovative solutions not available in the marketplace today. Further, by leveraging lower costs of off-the-shelf enterprise switches, solutions can be more economical, scalable, and have the performance required for the most demanding applications."
Richard Jonker, vice president SMB Product Line Management, NETGEAR said "The fact that the SDVoE standard utilizes commercially available 10Gbps Ethernet solutions means that customers now have a wide range of connectivity offerings which they can take advantage of. NETGEAR offers the widest range of cost-effective 10Gbps switches from web-managed 8-port devices to fully managed 48-port solutions with an ever increasing portfolio. We look forward to optimizing our offering to work in these SDVoE applications."
Toru Suzuki, Deputy Senior General Manager, B2B Segment Business Division, Professional Solutions and Services Group, Sony said "High image quality and low transport latency are both required in B2B field, and we expect SDVoE technology enables ideal AV-over-IP product solution. By incorporating SDVoE's high bandwidth, processing flexibility and long distance connectivity, our latest display systems create immersive experiences more flexibly. We will deliver this solution for industrial product design and manufacturing, theme parks, museums, high-traffic lobbies, corporate boardrooms — any environment requiring realistic simulation. We can now construct display systems more flexibly beyond 4K resolution with free aspect, free layout contents on any size of display output. We are happy to be part of the SDVoE Alliance."
Bob Michaels, CEO, ZeeVee said "For well over two years ZeeVee has been leading the way in developing, educating the market and installing IP-based AV distribution solutions by successfully leveraging industry standard technology. We believe in simplifying video distribution and are proud to be a founding member of the SDVoE Alliance. Participation in this new alliance will allow ZeeVee to better integrate our products into a wider AV-over-IP ecosystem, while giving integrators a trusted source for knowledge and products that will help them navigate the new technologies and applications, and compete as IP-based solutions become mainstream."
SDVoE is an initialism for "Software Defined Video over Ethernet". The SDVoE Alliance is a nonprofit consortium of technology providers collaborating to standardize the adoption of Ethernet to transport AV signals in professional AV environments, and to create an ecosystem around SDVoE technology allowing software to define AV applications. The alliance participates in tradeshows and conferences, publishes white papers and case studies and promotes SDVoE technology, and solutions based on the technology, to system integrators, designers and consultants. Training and installer certification are also part of the mandate. The SDVoE Alliance founding members are AptoVision, Aquantia, Christie Digital, NETGEAR, Sony and ZeeVee. All interested parties are invited to join the alliance and work toward its goals. For more information, visit sdvoe.org and follow us on Twitter.

Strength training plays a key role in your development as a runner, helping to build muscle so that your body can handle the repetitive stress of all that pavement pounding. And the stronger you are, the faster youll go. "Running is all about creating force," explains Tamara Pridgett, a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) certified trainer and All-American sprinter, who also recommends sneaking in some core work during your training. "The more force you can generate, when done with proper technique, the faster youll run—and to improve the max force we apply to the ground, one must lift weights." Here, her favorite run-strong moves.
This is a great foundation to improve speed and ground reaction; the longer youre on the ground, the slower you run. Start standing; lower hips, swing arms back (A), and jump up, driving knees up as high as possible without hunching over (B). As soon as feet touch the ground, drive knees back up. Beginner? Try 3 or 4 sets of 10 reps. If you are intermediate or advanced, go for 3 or 4 sets of 30 reps.

Student Loan Debt Approaches $1.8 Trillion
January 12, 2023 | Article
Roughly 37 million Americans have outstanding student loan debt. In August, the Biden-Harris administration announced a plan that would forgive up to $20,000 of student loan debt. The plan, currently on pause, is facing multiple legal challenges and the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the case soon. In the meantime, read this article for some interesting facts on student loan debt.
Outgrowing Tuition, Student Loan Debt Is Approaching $1.8 Trillion
Today, outstanding student loan balance is approaching $1.8 trillion—or $37,787 per recipient. Figure 1 illustrates the spectacular growth of student loan debt over the past ten years. In fact, outstanding student loan debt has outgrown the average undergraduate tuition by 3.2 percent per year for the period 2013-2020.
Figure 1: Student Loan Debt Has Grown Faster Than Tuition
Repayment of Federal Student Loans Remains on Pause
In 2020, the U.S. Department of Education paused repayment of federal student loans as part of the broader government responses to the Covid-19 pandemic. The pause remains in effect. As of June 30, 2022, approximately $1 trillion of federal student loans balance were placed in forbearance, with another $107 billion in deferment. While recipients who wish to continue payment can opt out, in reality few do. Since Q3 2020, less than half a million, or about 1 percent of recipients have made payments in any quarter.
Republican and Democratic States Show Student Debt Parity—Unless You Are in D.C.
The White House's proposed student loan debt relief plan was met with cheers in some states and jeers in others. Figure 2 plots average loan balance by state of the borrower. Recipients with addresses in D.C. have the largest loans in the nation—with an average balance of $55,461. Outside of D.C., recipients in Democratic-leaning states carry larger loan balance, on average, than those in Republic-leaning states, though the difference is only marginal.

Space Safety » Archive » Space Debris » Spacecraft Atmospheric Reentry » Cosmos 1220 Took the Plunge, But What's Left?
In the early morning hours of February 16, a long-defunct Russian surveillance satellite finally gave up the ghost, making the final plummet through the atmosphere, over twenty years after it ceased operations.
Cosmos 1220's was an uncontrolled reentry, so there was some concern that it might land on top of an inhabited area. Space Safety Magazine contacted Dr. Roger Thompson, a senior engineering specialist at The Aerospace Corporation who analyzes space situational awareness and collision avoidance, to learn more about the reentry, the hazards it posed, and what might be aiming for us next.
According to predictions, Cosmos 1220 should have hit the ground on February 16. Do we have any idea where it landed (or splashed)?
The final reentry track estimate for Cosmos 1220 on February 16 (Credits: The Aerospace Corporation).
The short answer is no, we don't know where any surviving fragments may have landed. Predicting a reentry time is very difficult and our uncertainty in predicting when an object will reenter is generally about 20% of the time to go. For example, if the reentry is predicted to occur in 6 hours, it could reenter up to 72 minutes earlier, 72 minutes later, or any time in between. At a speed of over 7 km/s, plus or minus 20% can result in a very long locus of potential reentry points. You can see the last estimate we provided for Cosmos 1220 on our website here: Cosmos 1220 reentry track. The reentry and impact point of any surviving fragments will be somewhere on the blue or yellow lines. However, since about 70% of our planet's surface is covered by water, debris that survives a reentry has a higher chance of landing in water than on land. A good part of Cosmos 1220's last few orbits was over the oceans, so an impact along one of those ocean tracks would be most likely.
Circle indicates area of GOCE reentry sightings (Credits: The Aerospace Corporation).
There is an unconfirmed report of the satellite reentering over Saudi Arabia. We will be examining the validity of these reports in the next week or two by comparing the time and location against our reentry predictions. If the sighting checks out, we will post that information to our website as in this example: GOCE reentry sighting.
Cosmos 1220 was a 1980 reconnaissance satellite, from a time when space debris was less of a concern in orbit. Were precautions for controlled reentry any different then than they are today?
Yes. These days, guidelines and requirements state if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance of a reentering object injuring one or more people somewhere on Earth, that object should be purposefully deorbited safely into an ocean area, such as the South Pacific. This practice is becoming more common, but as Cosmos 1220 shows, there are a number of old, large objects that cannot be deorbited regardless of the risk.
In December another Cosmos satellite had an uncontrolled reentry and November saw the uncontrolled reentry of GOCE. Is the rate of reentries increasing or is the public just paying more attention?
History of reentries of debris, rocket bodies, satellite platforms, and payloads (Credits: The Aerospace Corporation).
There are generally anywhere from 40 to 100 uncontrolled reentries of objects larger than 1000 pounds (454 kg) every year and the number of reentries of large objects has remained at that level for decades.
Is there anything a member of the public should know or do when an uncontrolled reentry like Cosmos 1220 is expected?
They should know that the probability of being struck by debris from a reentry is very small. In fact, only one person has been brushed on the shoulder (not injured) by reentry debris since the beginning of the space age. Personally, if a reentry was predicted over where I live, I would go outside to look for it.
What's the next reentry that will be keeping you up at night?
It will be the next large, uncontrolled object, perhaps a failed booster with propellant still on board, that has a predicted track along a major population corridor such as the US east coast or central Europe. In January 2012, we monitored the reentry of Phobos-Grunt very closely for most of its final week because it was just such a large object with a lot of propellant. Fortunately, it landed in the Pacific, but if it had reentered several minutes later, it would have been over South America.
Eventually, we'll need to dispose of the International Space Station—a very large object and lots of debris will survive reentry. As the reentry of the Russian Mir Space Station a few years ago demonstrates (Mir was deorbited into the South Pacific), even these large objects can be brought down safely with enough planning.

Scott Morrison's health and hospital cuts are causing chaos in Queensland, with every hospital in the state's South-East now running at full capacity.
This is what happens when you slash $160 million of hospital funding from the state – doctors and nurses are forced to try and do more with less, potentially compromising safety and quality of care.
This is what happens when you force up the cost of seeing a GP with a Medicare rebate freeze – more people end up in hospital emergency departments.
And this is what happens when you let private health insurance costs spiral out of control – people ditch their cover and end up back in the public system even as private hospitals go out of business.
If the Liberals are allowed to lock in their hospital cuts for another five years we will see more of this chaos across the country.
A Shorten Labor Government on the other hand will reverse the Liberal cuts to hospitals by investing an extra $2.8 billion.
We will take pressure off the cost of seeing a GP by ending the Government's freeze within 50 days of winning office.
And we will cap private health insurance premium increases so people stay insured and take pressure off the public system.
This is all part of Labor's Fair Go Action Plan to fix our hospitals and strengthen Medicare. Only Labor can be trusted to fix Queensland's – and the nation's – hospitals.
A Shorten Labor Government will contribute $73 million to help eliminate one of South-East Queensland's worst traffic black spots – the Boundary Road level crossing at Coopers Plains.
times each day, causing frustration for motorists who must wait for the trains to pass.
Studies show that the number of passenger and freight trains using these lines will increase in coming years and that inaction will lead to more congestion, a reduction in productivity and even more frustration for motorists. The Palaszczuk Labor Government is currently preparing the business case for this important project.
Unfortunately, the Brisbane City Council has committed to contribute 15 per cent of the cost – well short of the 50 per cent contribution it has made to similar projects on Brisbane's north side.
Federal Labor believes that it is time for the three levels of government to join forces and fix this black spot once and for all.
Federal Labor is keen to focus heavily on tackling traffic congestion, not only with significant investment in better public transport, but also by improving roads through practical projects such as the elimination of the Coopers Plains Crossing.
It was the former Federal Labor Government, as a result of representations from Moreton MP, Graham Perrett, that fully-funded the $280 million upgrade of the intersection between Mains Road and Kessels Road. Completed in mid-2014, this project has greatly improved safety and reduced congestion along the corridor that connects the busy Ipswich, Pacific and Gateway motorways.

Q: Stop Google Apps Script from creating duplicate calendar events I'm by no means a programmer but have picked up some of the basics from tutorials to create an App Script that allows Google Sheets data to automatically update with a Google Calendar.
The sync works great, but I'm having an issue finding the right code to prevent duplicate entries.
I'd want the calendar to update an event if the name or time changes, and obviously add any new events, but not create a duplicate of the unchanged events everytime.
Would anyone be able to help with what's needed to make this happen? Thanks!

  var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  var calendarId = spreadsheet.getRange("A1").getValue();

The pain and anger of more than a million people who tweeted #MeToo in the last week have crowded social media with personal stories of sexual harassment or assault. This virtual march of solidarity marks both the urgency of finding a shared voice and the hidden scale of assault that did not previously have a register. When women are almost invisible, when they are not really seen, it seems that people do not have to care what happens to them.
This online outcry is important because it is giving voice to acts that are public, but that are silenced and neutralized by convention. It is a cruel privilege to be able to harass a girl or a woman with impunity, but in so many cases this is the norm. What we are seeing currently, as women build and reinforce each other's accounts, and as men join in to acknowledge their role, is a validation of the rightness of speaking out. We are seeing also the strength in numbers that comes from accumulated individual experiences that are characteristically undeclared.
As the crowd builds of those telling their story, we see a picture of real life begin to emerge. A critical mass is growing that proves how much goes wrong when people can act with impunity in a culture of silence.
The online wave joins the other mass movements collectively expressing women's activism: the Latin American 'ni una menos' marches to protest violence against women and particularly against the least privileged; the women's marches that took place across the world earlier this year in support of women's rights and other freedoms; and the marches in Poland and Ireland against abortion bans.
The blanket of silence has also shielded perpetrators of assaults on LGBTI communities and others who are more vulnerable for reasons of ethnicity, poverty, or age. These women are the ones most affected, least visible and have the most to gain from the collective strength of voices building peer pressure and culture change. After all, it was Tarana Burke, a New York community organizer serving young women of colour who originated 'me too', and her friend Alyssa Milano who picked it up and became the catalyst for the billions who have now been reached by its message.
The full and free participation of women in society, in politics, and in the workplace is essential for women's voices to be heard and for their rights to be respected. The more women there are who take on senior representation roles across public and private sectors, the more opportunities there are for change in the culture of invisibility and impunity, where more powerful men are able to prey on women. Sexual and all other forms of harassment at work, home and outside the home are not acceptable and must not be ignored.
Casual indifference, and people saying "it's nothing" have to stop. The number of men who have joined this campaign is promising but far from being enough (30 per cent in one report). It has already been too long that permissive blindness is the norm. This is about both women and men changing their response to acts of sexual aggression and acting in solidarity to make it visible and unacceptable. Good men should not be quiet spectators.
We need to have all women empowered to speak, their rights and bodies respected, and behaviours established and entrenched as normal that let no one off the hook. No more impunity.
We salute the thousands of women who have been fighting against all violations of women's and girls' rights and call for renewed investment in the fight to end all violence against women.

Recapping IWF 2022 as We Start the New Year


Researcher David Carley of the University of Illinois at Chicago says a small experiment in 73 people suggests dronabinol, which contains THC, helps some with sleep apnea, but isn't completely effective. It may work better in combination with CPAP or other devices, Carley says.
It can drive people toward surgery.


Looking for something different? Athleticism, elasticity, stamina, speed, agility, scope over a fence, excellent movement and a high percentage of blood?
Our Perlino Akhal Teke Stallion Kambarbay possesses all of the desirable characteristics of the modern event horse. In addition he has a beautiful head, well defined limbs, a well proportioned length of body and neck along with the metallic golden sheen to his coat for which the breed are also renown.
The Akhal Teke as a breed are famous for their great stamina, intelligence, speed, agility and bravery, the characteristics very much sought after for the eventing, endurance and all round sport horse.
Whilst the Akhal Teke appear to be light of bone, it is in fact exceptionally dense, designed to cover hard ground at high speed without sustaining injury. The Akhal Teke are renowned for not suffering soundness issues with exceptionally strong tendons and hardy hooves that require little maintenance.
Kambarbay is a stallion with nobility and refinement an elegant high blood stallion with the ability as a Perlino to pass on his dilute colouring 100% of the time.
Kambarbay has competition results in the disciplines of British Dressage, Eventing and Show Jumping.
Kambarbay has very good mechanics, the trot is light footed with excellent flexion of the joints, he has good reach through the shoulder and sufficient length of stride. His canter is quick and light with excellent self carriage and his walk is long active and reaching.
His jumping technique is tactile and quick, with excellent foreleg technique. He has more than sufficient talent for jumping. He covers terrain with ease and is very sure footed, he is bold and confident cross country.
In addition Kambarbay's temperament is golden, he is a very gentle and obedient stallion attached to those he entrusts. He shows high intelligence and is very quick to learn. He has a submissive rather than a dominant temperament and seeks assurance from his rider/handler.
Kambarbay has proven a popular choice with mare owners world wide and has been used extensively. He has progeny in Australia, Belgium, France, Norway The Netherlands, The USA and throughout the UK. He also has progeny that have been sold to Germany and Italy. At the AES Elite foal auction it was noted by the Brightwells auctioneer that they had never had as much interest in a foal from overseas as they had for Lanaken, with bids received.
He has has crossed well with a vast variety of breeds with pleasing results, including KWPN, Selle Francais, Belgium Warmblood, Irish Sport Horse & Draught mares, Pure Bred and Part Bred Arabian, Spanish Breeds, Thoroughbreds, Pure Bred Akhal Teke mares, Welsh Native Breeds and Pony mares as well as mares of unknown origin.
Our clients have all remarked upon their abundant stamina and energy, with many commenting on a special aptitude to collect and extend within the gaits especially in canter coupled with ability to gallop, halt and turn with remarkable ease. They are exceptionally light footed and light of fore with good mechanics.
They have been described as being particularly close to people, bold, brave and inquisitive. They have faired exceptionally well at youngstock foal inspections and in the county show ring at the most prestigious events and has earned his reputation as a sire of Champions and high scoring premium awards both here in the UK and overseas. His eldest progeny are demonstrating their ability to perform well in sport.
Kuvvatli is a descendant of the Posman-line, dam family Fantaziya (Mama Niyaz) born in 1989 at Komsomol Stud, Turkmenistan. His sire is 990 Karaman and dam 2129 Alchak (line Ak Belek). He is a half-brother to 1150 Gaigisiz who is one of the best stallions at the moment in Russia. Kuvvatli's full sister Sumrygush was a broodmare at Yulduz farm in Russia who became a breed champion among adult mares in Krasnodar in 1991.
Kuvvatli was trained for dressage and show-jumping prior to retiring to stud duties. Recommended for breeding by MAAK as having a very rare and good pedigree. Mr. Aleksander Klimuk from Stavropol Stud in Russia liked him a great deal, paying special reference to his interesting pedigree and type. Kuuvalti's dam comes from different branch of line Posman than those from Gaigisiz as his mother comes from Ak Belek line - quite rare, especially in Europe.
Kambarbay is currently one of the only 5 Posman-line breeding stallions in Europe at the moment the other three come from Gaigisiz' sons. Kuuvalti has since passed away at his home in Estonia at Akhal Teke Est at the age of 19.
Sonata was born in 1988 at the Komsomol Stud, Turkmenistan and imported to the Akhal-Teke EST farm in winter 2004/2005. Sonata's sire is 960 Mukhtar and dam 2059 Sil (line Peren).
A mare with very good height for an Akhal-Teke 163cm at the withers. Sonata bred 6 foals during her life, 3 of them by the famous stallion 985 Dagestan. Her offspring are used as sires and broodmares in Russia. She was an excellent mare with her size producing good and strong horses for sport but having also good AT type.
Kambarbay was her first foal by Kuvvatli born in Estonia. In 2007 she produced a beautiful black filly Guli-Star by Gulistan. In 2008 her last foal was a beige-perlino filly Saryyagyz from Kuvvatli full sister to Kambarbay. Sonata passed away in summer 2009 at the age of 21.

14 things travelers wrongly assume about Thailand
Photo: KamrenB Photography
Casey O'Connell
1. Assuming Thailand means "third world."
While over 50% of Thailand's population lives in rural areas and makes a meager living growing rice and other crops, there are totally modern cities like Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Bangkok with plenty of skyscrapers, rooftop bars, 5-star hotels, world-class hospitals, prestigious international schools and universities, gourmet restaurants with Michelin-starred chefs, multiple systems of public transportation, and a wealthy class of citizens. All this said, my friends are still convinced I sleep on a bamboo mat and eat fried crickets.
2. Assuming everyone uses chopsticks.
Thailand is an Asian country, so people must use chopsticks! I've had a handful of guests arrive in Thailand and excitedly proclaim, "I've practiced using chopsticks!" This would be a totally great skill to have if people in Thailand didn't use the exotic utensils of… forks and spoons. If you're dying to put your newly acquired chopstick skills to use, you can seek out a Chinese or Japanese restaurant; you'll find Thai people using chopsticks there.
3. Assuming Buddhist monks live a strict life.
Before I moved to Thailand, I always thought of monks as the quiet men in orange robes who collect alms and live an ascetic life. I thought they renounced their worldly possessions. Though many monks are highly respected and dedicated to following the monk code strictly, not all monks live by the books.
It's not uncommon to see monks buying electronics, taking photos with iPads and nice cameras, talking on their iPhones, and smoking cigarettes. Monkhood is also not necessarily a vow for life; many young men enter monkhood — if only for few weeks — to make merit.
4. Assuming Thailand is basically the same as Taiwan.
It feels silly to even say it. It might seem glaringly obvious, but countless people continue to ask me, "How's Taiwan?" In my response, I subtly slip in that I live in Thailand, but that's usually shrugged off as if these are not two completely separate countries with distinct cultures and different languages. They may follow up with, "Do you speak Taiwanese?" I usually reply with a sarcastic, "Yeah! It's surprisingly easy to communicate in Taiwanese even though everyone speaks Thai!"
5. Assume elephants are highly regarded.
For being the national animal and an iconic symbol of Thailand, elephants are sure treated poorly. A lot of this treatment stems from demands of tourism; everyone believes their trip will not be complete without riding on top of an elephant through the jungle — it's an experience that's synonymous with Thailand.
Unfortunately, a seemingly harmless elephant ride is a small contribution to the illegal trade and mistreatment of these beautiful creatures. Before elephants spend exhausting days giving tourists rides on their backs — that actually shouldn't hold that much weight — they are beaten into submission as babies, and bull hooks are used excessively to keep them in submission. Read here about reputable places in Thailand where you can interact with elephants in a way that's healthy and safe for them.
6. Assuming Pad Thai is a quintessential Thai dish.
Pad Thai is often the first thing that comes to mind when Americans think of Thai food. It's always featured on the menus at Thai restaurants in America, but it doesn't always make the cut on menus in Thailand. It's not necessarily a Thai favorite, and it's usually more plentiful in touristy areas.
7. Assuming everyone speaks English.
Wealthier Thais tend to have more education in English, and Thai people who continually interact with tourists as part of their job may also speak a bit of English. Many tourists encounter the latter throughout their travels around Thailand, which leads them to believe that everyone speaks English. In reality, Thailand as a whole has low English proficiency.
Only a handful of students learn English in government schools, and even those who do may be learning with a Thai teacher who speaks very little English to begin with. Thailand has been criticized for its inadequate English language education and lack of resources for English teachers. However, many Thais do want to learn English, which leads us to the next misconception.
8. Assuming anyone can teach English in Thailand.
Being a native English speaker automatically makes you a desirable candidate for many jobs, and many native speakers choose to teach English because finding a teaching or tutoring job takes minimal effort. Websites like ajarn.com exist for the sole purpose of helping foreigners fill English teaching positions. However, this doesn't mean you don't need any qualifications to land a teaching job.
Reputable companies and schools often have a hiring process that's no different from back home. They may require a formal teaching degree and licensure and years of teaching experience, and others may only require a degree from a 4-year university. Others yet may hire you before you've even sent in your resume, but that job is likely accompanied with low pay, no airfare, and no work permit — that leaves you making sketchy visa runs.
9. Assuming Thailand is for seasoned partiers.
Koh Phangan's full moon party has long been a stop on the backpacker / partier circuit, and Bangkok's nightlife is just as lively. However, you shouldn't be deterred from visiting just because you like to keep it chill. Thailand has so much more to offer.
10. Assuming if it's not spicy, it's not authentic Thai food.
Tom yum soup and som tum salad bring the heat with chiles. However, omelets, garlic chicken, soups with noodles and meats, and fried rice are all common Thai dishes that aren't spicy. That being said, many Thai people do dress up these dishes with a spoonful of spicy, chopped chilies. Still, that's not a unanimous preference.
11. Assume everything is dirt cheap.
Yes, you can find cheap, street food meals under $2 and enjoy a cheap Chang beer with it. You can buy your prescription for a quarter of what it would be back home along a monthly phone plan that costs next to nothing. But creature comforts come at a cost.
Thailand has a substantial duty tax on imported items — that means buying a simple Friday night combo of wine and cheese will all but deplete your bank account.
Electronics and cars also have unusually high price tags. Frequenting fancy restaurants and bars and shopping at brand name stores in the malls may seem reasonable compared to developed countries, but it's not necessarily cheap — especially if you're earning a Thai paycheck. And you still need a place to live — if you opt for a newer development in downtown Bangkok, that'll come with a huge price tag. If you have kids, you'll have to think about sending them to a private international school as opposed to a government school, which will cost big baht. Tuition for the best international schools in Bangkok can cost upwards of 8,000 USD — per semester.
12. Assume you can pay any Thai woman to sleep with you.
A handful of tourists come for the sole purpose of cheap sex, and Thailand, unfortunately, has a rampant sex tourism industry. But it's absurd to think the whole population of Thai females is there to cater to foreign men. Women hold positions in all sectors of Thai society. Not all Thai women are prostitutes, and no, they don't all want to sleep with you.
13. Assume it's always hot.
Thailand has a tropical climate, but that doesn't mean you'll always be sweating. Thailand's mountainous cities in the north and northeast, like Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, have temperate conditions and lower humidity in the cool season between December and February. The province of Loei is known as the "the coldest in Siam." Phu Rua National Park in Loei can get down to 9°C (48°F) during the day and is even cooler at night.
14. Assume it's the land of smiles.
I've been shown an overwhelming amount of compassion and kindness in Thailand, but embedded in this catchphrase is the belief that Thailand is paradise all the time. Thailand is known for being a safe place and having a peaceful population, but Thailand has its uncomfortable truths.

The building is located on the West side of Charlotte Road, close to the junction with Great Eastern Street, at the heart of the vibrant 'Shoreditch Triangle'
The 'Shoreditch Triangle' is a busy mixed-use area occupied by many thriving creative and tech businesses and is well served by hotels, shops, amenities, transport, eateries and bars.
The available space has its own street entrance and stair serving all upper floors of this recently comprehensively and sympathetically restored Victorian warehouse building.
The space benefits from superb natural light provided by large windows along the two long sides and character from solid wood floors (2nd and 3rd) and plenty of exposed brickwork. Currently configured as largely open-plan spaces, there is also a kitchenette, private shower / w.c on the first floor and a further w.c. and tea-point on the second floor.
Built c. 1865 with Nordic pine beams and original imperial brick, the top three floors of this peculiar end-of-terrace building have housed just two tenants since it was erected. A former Victorian furniture factory was converted in 1978 into an artist's live/work studio and updated to include network connections, energy saving lighting and floor-to-ceiling Hudevad radiators. Ideally suited for a creative practice receiving clients up to a maximum occupancy of 16.
- Private video/audio entry system and foyer
- Stunning original brickwork, ceilings and floors
- Fire-rated staircase offering three private levels
- Beautiful natural light from both sides of the building
- Vaulted top floor ceiling
